sure, that will stop kids from having one account with random access. but the step to alts isnt that hard.

i propose that it will work untill the teens want to see something - then they will quickly create an alt. or they are mischievous like i was and create an alt as soon as the parents leave the room - after all you need to find out what they are hiding...

we would not stop from accessing adult stuff, if we wanted to. so trying to hard prevent them now would be hypocritical too imo. it is our job as parents to prepare them as good as we can.

i dont do pixelfed, so idk what parental control they have. but what kind of system is gonna stop teens from making an account without their parents knowledge? and no, age verification wont work. there is a mysterious thing happening, where teenagers immediately turn 45 for the duration of any "please enter your age" question on the internet.

as someone who has made it through multiple 'agile transformations' in large companies: that's how it usually goes.

however, that is the problem with people being stuck in their way and people afraid of loosing their jobs. PO is usually filled with the previous teamlead (lower management, maybe in charge of 20 ppl). PM & Sales have to start delivering unfinished Products! how else are you going to get customer feedback while you can still cheaply change things? A lot of the middle management has to take something they would perceive as a 'demotion' or find new jobs entirely - who would have guessed that with an entirely new model you cannot map each piece 1:1...

Given these and many more problems i have seen many weird things: circles within circles within circles, many tiny waterfalls... some purists would call SAFE a perversion of agile.

the point is: if you want to go agile, you have to change (who would have thought that slapping a different sticker won't do it?). the change has to start from the top. many companies try to do an 'agile experiment': the whole company is still doing what they do. however, one team does agile now - while still having to deliver in and for the old system...

i take you have never heard of the V-model. basically you climb the waterfall back up to verify everything. most things that fly within the atmosphere are done that way. pretty sure NASA would do the same.

tbh: I don't care about other people's affiliate links - they only sell bs anyway. what would scare me much more, is what they are willing to do to ppl like you and me. if they are willing to fuck around with 'influencers', which can have quite a bit of money and reach - to what extent are they ok to fuck around with ppl, that don't have any money?

north korea does not need to pay its employees and has state sponsored hackers extorting hospitals. idk what revenue streams pakistan has. while the knowledge isn't hard to get, usually the problem is sourcing enough radioactive materials.

went to a shoe shop and asked them for old shoe boxes. now i have free cardboard boxes, all the same size and easy stackable.

that article is horrible to read! every paragraph starts with quotation, but then never closes it😵

yes, i could get behind that. problem is probably that this is such wide spread by now, that it would take a really long time to use that new standard.

for someone regularly using both: it is a convenience feature.

that way i just know config files are under ~/.myApp. if windows devs would beore consistent, i would be ok with %APPDATA%\myApp. however, too often it is under %APPDATA%\..\Roaming\myApp - which is just a pain. so i prefere linux style on windows.

this is obviously talking about their web app, which most people will be using. In this special instance, it was clearly not the LLM itself censoring the Tiananmen Square, but a layer on top.

i have not bothered downloading and asking deepseek about Tiananmen Square. so i cannot know what the model would have generated. however, it is possible that certain biasses are trained into any model.

i am pretty sure, this blog is aimed at the average user. while i wouldn't trust any LLM company with my data, i certainly wouldn't want the chinese government to have them. anyone that knows how to use (ollama)[https://github.com/ollama/ollama] should know these telemetry data don't apply to running locally. but for sure, pointing it out in the blog would help.
